Introduced an FPGA design flow which included: -introduction of a revision control system -scripted automated build system -AXI-LITE IP infrastructure for the modular definition of system control planes (configuration and status registers) Implemented standards compliant CPRI PHY layer block using the Xilinx GTX transceivers. The block is fully software configurable and can be configured to operate from CPRI line rates 1 to 8 through its register interface.

Apr 2005 - Jan 2015
Amongst the first employees at Teradici, I was primarily responsible for the FPGA prototyping, bring up, and validation of Teradici’s PCoIP SOC ASIC devices. During the early days as the company was growing I was also directly involved with customers and sales support, performing, applications and sales engineering and directly assisting with customer issue resolution. As the company grew further, I helped build up both the validation and applications engineering teams.

Responsible for the validation of prototype telecommunication ASICS. These are complex multi-million gate devices which implement complete PHY layer SONET and/or PDH functionality and have in excess of 1000 configuration registers. Protocols include SONET, PDH, ATM, and POS. Bus protocols include UTOPIA/POS levels 2&3, SBI and other proprietary signaling protocols. Validation includes many diverse stages all of which I have been directly responsible for on numerous projects: -Formulation of a Test Plans -Development of Hardware Test Platforms -FPGA Design and Coding -Software Test Environments -Execution of Feature Tests Show less
